apparently warmer waters is better for fishjng this area. later summer will provide more opportunities for other fish species. According to the Captain, water temps are about 12-14 defrees colder than normal this tome of year, therefore some of the migration of other species hasnt really happened yet.

The captain should have told us that we might caught some fish and we might not. I was expecting to get at least one large fish from the trip but all we caught were fishes that were less then 9โ€, so we had to release them back into the water. We were trick into thinking we will get large fishes from all the photos on the website.

Despite it being late in the season, Captain Billy worked hard to make sure that the guys all caught their limit. The first mate took great care of them, and all had a wonderful day on the Bay. Worth every $. Do not hesitate to book!

Bring snacks, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer. Don't be afraid to get dirty or your hands slimy from fishing. Enjoy the trip as a whole including the travel to and from the fishing spots.

Captain Tom put us on fish at the first location and we had our rockfish limit in about 1/2 hour. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I will certainly book future trips with Hallockโ€™s Grace Charters

Iโ€™m wondering if there is a better time of year to catch and keep larger fish. I know I have in years last, but this time of year, it seems like the limits were small.

Allow ample time to arrive. Some winding back roads to get to dock. Bring coolers with ice and some snacks & drinks to enjoy between fishing spots. Bring a hat & sunglasses too!

Itโ€™s hot so bring lots of water and be patient. Our first stop we only had 2 but once we moved we literally couldnโ€™t keep up on the lines and weโ€™re just pulling them into the boat

I think other than the weather fishing wouldโ€™ve been a little better, plus going in trophy rock season probably wouldnโ€™t do that again but we did catch some decent size cat fish.

Use Lucky Strike Charters if you want more than just a fishing experience. They are impressive, affordable and kid friendly.

You bet I'd recommend Deale fishing. Of course, we happened to have great weather just after the super hot heat wave in July 2019. Definite return trips in the future.

Good facilities. Fish cleaning station right on the pier. We had dinner at the Happy Harbor restaurant that is next to the pier.

Actually the trip went out of Edgewater, owing to the Captain's foresight in moving to the area where Rock fish were present, Awsome trip, and we maxed out on the limit.

It wasn't in Deale, but in Annapolis. But it was the perfect spot; lots of fish biting early.
